Don't disagree with any of that, apart from the bit about you being a simpleton obviously



I know that a respected RL writer, who was the stats guru for the RFL also holds the same view on the attendances, but that's what they decided to go with. I can sort of understand why they did it, the number of people in the stadium did increase as the day went on, but it just doesn't sit right. If they're going to guess the figures, then why not just find out how many people had gone through the turnstiles by kick-off in each game?

[url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=10177The average attendance at the end of the 27-round regular season was 10,264, with an aggregate attendance total of 1,682,800 supporters passing through the turnstiles.[/url

1,682,800 divided by 27 rounds (162 matches) gives an average of 10,387.

FWIW The (unadjusted) totals I had after 27 rounds were: 1,595,407 (Average 9,84icon_cool.gif

Ah well, up the revolution.

Back to Leeds:

Rob Burrow has been successful with his last 22 place kicks (for Leeds) in a sequence stretching back to 7th July 2006.

Likewise Kevin Sinfield with his last 10 shots stretching all the way back to 18th April 2008.

Very interesting stats for McGuire 133 in 167 is very good going... all you Danny cynics out there!

He could easily muscle his way above Mr G Schofield before the end of the season and well into the Leeds top ten of all time!

TVOC, what is the no. of apperances for Schoey?

Garry Schofield: Pl 243+7..... Tries 147.....Goals 65..... Drop Goals 30.....Points 748

Thanks TVOC

Just what I thought... so Danny critics???

Not only has McGuire been an extremely good try scorer, but he's always created alot more than the Leeds fans give him credit for as well IMO. Has been one of our best players ever since he came into the side.

tvoc, what is your non-statistical opinion of McGuire?

FWIW I think the Burrow-McGuire halfback partnership will end up going down as one of the best - if not the best - in the club's history. Both will end up with a shedload of tries, not to mention winning at least 2 GFs (I know Burrow started 04 from the bench but he was there).

Well done to Keith Senior, a nice touch of symmetry at the top:

=1 - Francis Cummins - 136 (268 Appearances)
=1 - Keith Senior - 136 (268 Appearances)

<AP Hat on>

They're both crap and wouldn't have made it in the super duper NRL.

so tell us who would .
this is a statistics thread i think.

Correct.





No, I don't keep records for any players, either before or after they play for Leeds or those that never play for Leeds at all.

Only their efforts V Leeds are recorded.

Paul Deacon: Pl 33+7, Tries 3, Goals 99, Drop Goals 2, Points 212

The above includes last night.

Tvoc - what is our record against Bradford in SL now? I guess they are still a fair few wins up but we must have closed the gap significantly from the early years.

i think its time some talented person produced and published an updated headingley story 1979-2008 .
to keep the ken dalby legacy going

That information is classified and way too embarrasing for me to divulge. Some Bradford fans are having a stab at it over [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=352915&highlight=here[/url I fear it can only be a matter of time before the painful truth is revealed.



It's improving but still Leeds' major disappointment in terms of 50/50 parity. Ask me again if Leeds win the next 11 meetings.

But the stats on Saints look better I understand?

There's an up to date summary on the state of Leeds V St Helens on page 2 of this thread.

It's close.

And while I'm here wouldn't it be neat if McGuire scores a hat-trick at Harlequins on Sunday and creates a 3-way share for most tries with Cummins and Senior?

This is fun now:

Leeds' Top Try Scorers SL Era All Comps

1 = Danny McGuire 139
2 = Keith Senior 138
3 = Francis Cummins 136
4 = Rob Burrow 108
5 = Mark Calderwood 106

Leeds' Top Try Scorers SL Era Regular Rounds Only

1 = Keith Senior 123
2 = Danny McGuire 117
3 = Francis Cummins 111
4 = Rob Burrow 87
5 = Mark Calderwood 84

Carl Ablett's try V Wakefield brought up Leeds' 10,000 points for in the SL Regular Rounds.

The total came in Leeds' 334th game and is made up of 1,728 Tries, 1,527 Goals and 34 Drop Goals.

P.s don't forget sinfield equalled farrell's 48 consecutive super-league match scoring sequence

So they say.

I have no (independent) way of verifying what Farrell did or didn't do so it's not something I'd personally look to include here.

The last time Rob Burrow missed a kick at goal for Leeds was V Bradford, 7th July 2006. That game ended with his match winning conversion off the Southstand touchline into the empty building site.

2006 - 12
2007 - 5
2008 - 7

Not sure if it can turn into a 'genuine' attempt at the world record with him only filling in as a back up kicker but it's not too shabby.

By that logic, how about a round of applause for me?

I've not missed a kick at goal since 1981.

Wouldn't that depend on how many you'd successfully kicked since that miss in '81 though and at what level?

Ignore my request on the other thread.

One for all you Vulcan fans out there. With Danny McGuire's 2 drop goals to add to his 139 tries he has now amassed 558 points for Leeds. Nice touch. www.tvoc.co.uk

Bradford have now become the 3rd team to concede over a thousand points V Leeds during the SL Era.

London/Harlequins - 1,220
St Helens - 1,050
Bradford - 1,012

From the Leeds point of view it appears the order of preference to play Bradford is:

1 - At a neutral venue
2 - In Bradford
3 - At Headingley

The next time Leeds and Bradford meet it will be the 50th clash of the SL Era.

The Keith Senior try was Leeds' 100th of the season (18 games - All Comps)

The lowest total set by Leeds during the SL Era was 116 (26 games) in 1996 while the highest was 258 (36 games) in 2005

Kevin Sinfield has now kicked 700 Goals + 7 Drop Goals in the SL Regular Rounds while Rob Burrow needs 2 for his century of place kicks in the same.
